A little update and fixes include:

1) In both addons, now it is possible to leave $displayForums array empty and allow to display the information from ALL forums automatically. The possibility to set only special forums to parse is kept as previously.

2) First Page News includes little fix regarding displaying links to the threads.

Both changes are not major, but you are welcome to upgrade as always, and report us any possible errors you may find ;-)

This is after the latest update

One of the topic descriptions has the nbsp (non breaking space) entity and I got the following error:

Hmm, I am wondering - HOW could I repeat it? Which way this text appeared on your board? Have you modified something directly in the database?

I can not repeat it on minibbtest for example.

In general you may try yourself, I've installed RSS addon there.

I have just downloaded the latest version of First Page News addon. After uploading and setup, no matter how I would like to include addon_1stpagenews2.php on my homepage (non miniBB), I keep getting the Fatal error message. I am pretty sure I have defined the path to my forums directory correctly.

Here is the url
http://www.erintes.com/forum/addon_1stpagenews2.php

Hmm, I am wondering - HOW could I repeat it?
I'm almost sure it's related to the "Merge topic" addon (first versions maybe) - I think the   should be removed (where the date of moving is presented) and insert just a space there..

Be sure to download the latest version we have now. I've noticed this error today too and fixed it in the package. Please try again.

Hmm that could be the reason. I'll check later...

Yes, that was the exact reason.

I have fixed Merge Topics addon, Vishal be sure to download the updated version and/or fix the old merged message manually, removing tags.

Sorry for being late! Thanks Paul!
